I wonder if I can mount a Jaw (chuck) on the head for this lath?? Thanks...Tarooti

You would have to find one with the correct thread count to screw it on. But the head is removable, because it also comes with a face plate for turning bowls and other hollow forms. Also, replacement parts can be ordered through Harbor Freight Tools, as they sell the same model.

you can, if you can find a thread adapter for it. I had to have one custom made to go from the stock (M18-2.5) to 3/4x16 so that I could use my jaw from Woodcraft

I mounted mine on a Craftsman saw and had to drill. I drilled the mount not the saw. Chances are you may have to drill.

no. the screw holes won`t line up. It`s geared only for the PSI BARRACUDA WOOD CHUCK SYSTEM.

Mount on mount can be done , BUT the stability is bad and could cause injury. Its a chance I'm not willing to take.

Ok, so the problem is that the top teeth of the chuck is clamped shut and the previously mentioned trick of screwing it down (righty tighty) on the dremel shaft then loosening by twisting (lefty loosey) doesn't open the chuck teeth, it just removes the whole chuck back off the base. SO, with the chuck in your hand, put a very small drill bit in through the bottom of the chuck so it bumps up against the bottom of the tooth mechanism. I just tapped the drill bit with a hammer and the teeth sprang open!

I bought a MT2 shaft with a male 1X8 thread on the end. I'll have to do some digging to remember where I bought it. It is very handy and I have screwed a variety of things onto it, including my scroll chuck. I have screwed several different sizes of jam chucks onto this shaft installed in the tail stock and it works fine.

There are holes in there that would allow you to put your own casters on there with the right sized nut, washer and caster (I bought some big casters for the wire steel shelves at Home Depot and put them on the Rockwell JawStand).The problem is that there doesn't seem an easy way to put a caster on the rear leg, and thus the Jawhorse will no longer be level. If you don't care about that you could certainly easily put casters on the front.

No, the jaw opening is roughly the same as a 3/8" Jacob's chuck. Also the 1/4" hex base isn't easily held in a 3/8" mandrel

I haven't used it yet. But after watching some YouTube videos I think you should be able to. You may need to use the flat head.

Yes, I suppose you could if you had the correct size bushings and an extender shaft to allow the selected buffing wheel to clear the grinder body... I'm not sure why you would use it this way instead of mounting the system on your lathe though... I use the system with all three wheels mounted on the included shaft quite often and it only takes a few moments to mount/unmount it from the lathe. Good luck and safe turning to you!

The short answer is probably. This chuck will fit a headstock at 1" Dia X 8 Threads per inch or 3/4" Dia X 16 Threads per inch. I am not familiar with your lathe, suggest you check your owners manual for your head stock size. You might also "Google" your model, there are usually a number of review for just about any piece of equipment on the net. Good luck, Mike

Sure, any chuck will clamp on to it. I just went out to the garage and tried it. It works fine. There are six flats on the Milwaukee 90 degree unit and three moveable flats on the three-jaw chuck. It grips fine; no adapter needed.Clarification: the input shaft can be driven by a standard three jaw chuck from a cordless or corded drill driver. The output however, requires a 1/4-inch hex adapter to be able to grip a drill bit. The one I purchased is a Milwaukee 49-22-1560 1/4-Inch Chuck Attachment, cost $26 a little over a year ago. Hope this helps. Winds up being a little pricey, but sometimes it's the only way to get the job done. Sure, any chuck will clamp on to it. I just went out to the garage and tried it. It works fine.

To answer your question, yes you can. I used this lathe for a long time to make bowls even though they won't be big. You can only turn up to about 9 3/4" bowl on this lathe. You would either need a faceplate or a 4 jaw scroll chuck which can get pricey. When I had this lathe I bought a chuck for $100 that did the job then when I got into a bigger lathe and became a professional woodturner I got into bigger chucks. I have 2 Vicmarc VM 120's that cost me $350 just for the chuck not counting the $50 for the jaws. So your research before you buy a lathe, chuck or tools.

Only if you have ample access to the bearing. The jaws are thick. Also there's no way to lock the jaw into place to prevent slippage.

As long as your MT tail stock insert has JT3 taper for the chuck head it should work fine. I bought one of these and a JT3/MT2 drill chuck arbor (http://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-D2744-MT2-JT3-Drill-Chuck/dp/B005W0U6K2/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_img_y) for our lathe... has worked flawlessly.

The only way to deternine that is for me to measure centers between mounting screws on jaws and for you to do the same with your chuck. I have not purchaced a Nova chuck yet. Then the groove for the jaws. I will try to do that tonight.

Not really. You might be able to rig it for that but not sure how well it will work. Thought about trying it myself but haven't gotten around to it.
